Festival for Art, Technology & Society set in Kepler’s Gardens ‘A global journey mapping the ‘new’ world’. The festival consists of VR gardens that have been created in Mozilla Hubs arranged by country hubs and a world space gallery. Access to the space is initially through a Departure Hall that teaches the Mozilla Hubs onboarding process and then you are lead to a Navigation Interface to explore on your own. I really enjoyed exploring the New Zealand Aotearoa garden and the lab HUB created by Arc/Sec to showcase their Light Wing, Light Scale ii, Light Tank and Singularity exhibitions. I visited several other hubs and some of the ones that stood out included: Unseen Sacred Spaces - allowing a view into invisible spaces, WADS - a space with a space concept; Garden of Third Life - focus on the future garden where reality and virtual integrate; and The Barlett School of Architecture - features student work, research and links to partners hubs such as ScanLAB & Jason Bruge.
